Tamaski pleads guilty

It looks like a sunset you might see in the midst of summer, but with spring just a week away, the ice is
still glistening off the Chippewa River at the end of Main Street in Cornell. After several weeks of below
zero weather, temperatures reached the near 60s, and are predicted to stay in the upper 40s or low 50s
during the day for the next week. Nighttime temperatures are still expected to reach the lower 30s, most
likely colder in the woods, creating favorable conditions for sap to run during the spring tree
tapping/syrup cooking season. Cadott has scheduled the tapping of the first tree for Saturday in the
school forest, and plans for a pancake feed to follow.

Charles S. Tamaski, Ladysmith, former owner of the New
East Bay Restaurant in Holcombe, pled guilty to two felony
charges at a March 4 review hearing.
Tamaski was originally charged in November of 2014 with
two counts of Felony H Misappropriate ID Information to
Obtain Money and Felony I Issue of Worthless Checks less
than $2,500, but the second counts of each were read in and
dismissed.
The New East Bay Restaurant was opened by Tamaski in
August of 2014, but closed a month later after false information was provided on an application for a building permit,
and operator and liquor licensing.
Reports say Tamaski provided false Social Security numbers, including one from a deceased man, to order alcohol
and pay for expenses.
Investigator William Gray, with the Chippewa County
Sheriffs Department, said Tamaski admitted he knowingly
wrote checks on closed accounts, and used false Social Security numbers to hide his identity and history.
Tamaski has been charged with similar offenses in the past.
In 1994, he pled guilty to Issue of Worthless Checks less than
$1,000 in Waupaca County, and pled no contest in 2008 to
two counts of Issue of Worthless Checks less than $2,500 in
Waushara County. The Wisconsin court system also shows
Tamaski was accused or convicted of an offense in another
state and was taken there to face their charges or convictions.
For the Chippewa County charges, Judge James Isaacson
sentenced Tamaski to probation, including $8,646.11 in restitution and $1,148 in court costs.

Lint and outlets keep fire

department on their toes
By Monique Westaby
The Cornell Area Fire Department responded to two calls
this past week that could have turned into some serious problems. Fortunately, for the business and homeowners, the
damage remained minimal and no one was injured.
At 7:15 p.m. Thursday night, March 5, dispatchers requested the assistance of the fire department at Paradise
Shores, in Holcombe. A caller had said one of the industrial
dryers had broken, and smoke was filling the room.
It was just smouldering when we got there, said Dave
Tonnancour, assistant chief two. The residents were out of
their rooms, and the fire alarms were working.
Tonnancour said one dryer was damaged, and told the business to check and service all dryers before using them, as
they are all connected. The total cost of damage is unknown,
but Tonnancour says the fire started because of an accumulation of lint in the dryer.
Clean your lint traps, said Tonnancour. Lint is highly
flammable.
Crews were on scene less than an hour, and the Cornell

After filling out an application with the Aspect Foundation,
Jason Ng, 17, from Hong Kong, was put on an adventure that
brought him to the Walthers family in Cadott.
I was for sure nervous, Jason said. I was here late-September, so school had started already. I had to catch up on
everything.
According to the programs website, the Aspect Foundation is a non-profit organization offering affordable studyabroad opportunities to students from around the world.
We try to match families to the persons interest, said
Cathy Ryba, Aspect Foundation coordinator. With Jason
having been late, we really were looking to make sure he
could come. So, he lucked out and got in Cadott.
Jason came from a large city of about seven million, to
Cadott with a population of roughly 1,400. For about two
months, Jason was put in a welcome family before he settled
in with the Walthers.
They are an awesome family, said Cathy.
The Walthers have hosted three other foreign exchange students, but Jason was their first male student. Gilbert Walthers,
Jasons host brother, said he has always liked the experience.
I like it especially when they bring their own culture to
us, Gilbert said. I thought it was pretty cool that I finally
got a foreign exchange brother.

Since hes been in Cadott, Jason says the culture here is a

lot different than back home.
In Hong Kong, everything is fast, Jason said. We walk

Theyre not just the last two weeks of March, theyre wedding season
By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
As the sun comes out
and the snow slowly
makes its spring retreat, I
cant help but think about
the upcoming season
wedding season. Wait,
wedding season? In March? Yes, wedding
season in March. Well, just the last two
weeks in March.
Since I was a little girl, my dad has designated the last two weeks of March as wedding season. In fact, hes written an entire
story about it, explaining his reasoning. No,
hes not where I get my writing bug from,
but rather where I get my be prepared for
any scenario bug from.
Pa began writing stories in the mid-90s
after an injury rendered him unworkable for
some time. He determined if he couldnt
work, hed need some way to support his
wife and three kids; so stories began making
their way to paper. Eventually he made it
back to work, and the result of his moneymaking plan turned into a folder full of anecdotes and hunting memories.
His second story, The Wedding Season, is
one of his most famous, to which he references on a regular basis at family gatherings and most of us kids have heard several
times.
So every March, I still think about it as the
birds start to chirp and warmth takes over the
frigid in like a lion weather so infamous in
Wisconsin. If only I had thought about it
eight years ago, when my own wedding
planning began
The Wedding Season starts with a church,
a wedding and my dad waiting for the
daughter of his former best friend, Carl, to
get married. He says former because, as Pa
writes, Carl met his untimely demise while
on a fishing trip eight years earlier.

I wont go into details about his premature

death, but if he were alive on the date of his
only daughters wedding, the wedding would
not have occurred in September. Or, if it had,
there would have been a good chance Carl
would not have attended.
Not because Carl didnt want to see his
daughter get married, but rather because Pa
said Carl liked to fish, hunt, snowmobile and
trap, or do any outdoor activity really. He did
not like suits. In fact, Carl was buried in his
flannel shirt and blue jeans. You could say
that Carl was born 200 years too late.
So there my dad was, sitting in church,
waiting for the daughter of a friend who
found the only legitimate way to get out of
showing up for his own daughters wedding,
when my dads mind began to wander.
He started counting ceiling tiles, only to
learn after the first 28x28 he would need a
calculator. He moved onto people, and
summed up that about 600 people were in
the church, vocalizing it to my mother, who
seemed displeased with the information.
When the wedding finally started, eight
long minutes of waiting later, the bride made
her way down the aisle and Pa thought about
Carl. I couldnt help but think he was somewhere above, looking down on the church in
his red flannel shirt, blue jeans and hunting
boots, smirking to himself that he didnt have
to wear a monkey suit
especially in the fall. Carl would have

been there when my brother was born that

early hunting morning, or even taken my
mom to the hospital, but it was deer gun season and you dont mess with the deer gun
season.
December brings muzzle-loader season,
and the ice is safe to walk on in most spots
so ice fishing is getting to the perfect condition. January and February mark the winter
sports season, where snowmobiling, skiing,
snowshoeing and through-the-ice trapping
compose an outdoor lovers time.
By March 15, all ice shacks must be off
the water. The snow is mixed with rain, ice
is no longer safe to walk on, grass doesnt
need mowing and mud makes work outdoors
difficult. Obviously, the last two weeks of
March are perfect for ruining with a wedding.
You might think you can beat the system,
but even after careful planning and consideration for the right date, I still spend every
anniversary weekend at the local race track
for Sprint Car night, that is, if were not up
north bear hunting.
Fall weddings might seem nice, or a beautiful summer day may grab your attention,
but consider the next 50+ years of anniversaries; what will you be competing with?
You may not get to choose the month, but
go with wedding season and you still get a
choice. Do you want to get married on the
opener or the closer of the season?

convinced his daughter that September was

the wrong month to get married in, and a
spring wedding, somewhere in the last two
weekends of March, would have been much
more practical.
In Wisconsin, there are many seasons.
April is the spring turkey hunting season,
and May holds the game fish opener. So if
you live in Wisconsin, you should be fishing
at least every weekend in May.
June and July are such beautiful months,
so everyone should be out enjoying the great
outdoors like camping, hiking, biking and
fishing. (June and July are also prime race
season and, as I later learned, could definitely hinder an anniversary should you
marry a race fan.)
August usually holds 100+ degree days,
with the same for humidity, so its just plain
too hot and miserable to put on a suit and
tie. September starts the small game hunting
season, as well as bear and duck hunting,
and deer bow season. October is prime hunting, so a wedding is out of the question there,
and then of course, comes November.
November in Wisconsin is the traditional
nine-day rifle hunting season. This is about
as close to a sacred season as you can get if
you live in Wisconsin. You dont mess with
the deer gun season.

older than I am, was born during this sacred

Utah Department of Health spokeswoman

said both cases in their state were not vaccinated.
From Jan. 1 to Feb. 27, 170 cases of
measles were reported in 17 states, with the
majority being unvaccinated.
This sparked an outrage of news reports, articles and Facebook rants, some supporting
not getting vaccinated and vice versa.
Some people who have been vaccinated
still do not build up immunity to the disease,
and no vaccination is 100 percent effective,
one woman wrote. So kids who have done all
the right things can still be exposed to and
die from communicable diseases because
other people are too ignorant to have their
children vaccinated.
Another wrote, More children are dying or
being seriously harmed by the vaccines than
by the illnesses now.
The group Health Freedom Alliance released information from a survey in Germany,
stating children who have been vaccinated are
two and half times more likely to develop
autism than those who are unvaccinated.
In a study published by Public Health Reports, 63 percent of parents fear their children
could have serious side effects from vaccines,
and 57 percent say they have concerns about
the link between vaccines and autism.
Many parents believe there was a link between autism and thimerosal, which was once
used as a preservative in many recommended
childhood vaccines.
Thimerosal was removed (or reduced to
trace amounts) in 2001, and evidence from
several studies did not show any relationship
between the ingredient and autism.
On the CDCwebsite, one parent shared her
story of her child being exposed to an unvaccinated child.
Megan Campbells 10-month-old son came
down with a 104 degree fever and a rash on

his head, which quickly moved to his arms

and chest. After rushing him to the hospital,
he was diagnosed with measles.
After spending three days in the hospital,
not able to eat or drink and a having a fever
that spiked to 106 degrees, he fully recovered.
He was exposed to measles during his 10month check-up when a mother had her ill
son in the waiting room. The measles vaccine
is not available to children until they reach
age one. The ill, non-vaccinated boy contracted measles overseas and brought it back
to the U.S.
Virus particles of a person infected with
measles can stay in the air for up to two hours
and are highly contagious.
The World Health Organization reports an
estimated 20 million people worldwide get
measles and 146,000 die from them every
year. The CDC reported that the U.S. eliminated all native cases of measles in 2000, but
that isnt the case anymore, in light of the recent outbreaks.
When bacteria or viruses invade the body,
they attack and multiply, which causes an infection. Vaccines contain either killed or
weakened antigens that make the immune
system produce antibodies, which lead to immunity to diseases and reduce the risk of infection.
Besides vaccines preventing measles, there
are plenty of other diseases they help people
from contracting including hepatitis, influenza, meningococcal disease, rotavirus and
more.
While everyone is entitled to their own
opinion and how to raise their children, vaccines are one thing that should be mandatory.
Why should a fun trip to Disneyland be the
cause of you or your child catching a lifethreatening illness, because someone chose
not to get themselves or their children vaccinated?

Cadott Library Board

Library starts new reading programs

By Heather Dekan
Children and adults at the Cadott Public Library now have several new programs to participate in, including a kindergarten reading program, BINGO and March Madness.
A 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program was launched at the Cadott Child Development Days in February, and promotes parents to read with their children so they are prepared
to begin reading when they start kindergarten.
It is a take home program, said Paula Stanton, Cadott Public Library director, at the regular board meeting March 9. So they take the log home and write down how many books
their child has read and bring it back to us and we will keep track of it.
For every 100 books read, the child gets a prize, with the goal of reading 1,000 books
before they start school. Stanton says they will communicate with the childs teacher when

Letters to the Editor

Letter to Editor;
Regarding Monique Westabys February 12th column on
the freedoms she feels she lost with the passage of the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare.
Monique stated By creating a law where everyone must
have health insurance, we are now subject to leaving our
medical decisions up to the insurance companies, rather than
our own trusted doctors Monique, how long have you had
private health insurance?
Im 67 years old and have had some type of private health
insurance since my discharge from the Marines in 1969. My
insurance companies have always told me what they would
authorize me to have done, who they would pay to do it and
how much they would pay. If I wanted something else done
I could pay for it myself.
This hasnt changed; it did not start with the Affordable
Care Act; you have the freedom to do whatever you want if
you can afford to pay for it. I have always accepted this and
accept the fact that a major reason for it is to prevent unnecessary tests or duplication of treatments but also to increase
their profits.
There is one problem that I do have a hard time living with.
That problem is the people who refuse to get insurance even
if they can afford it and then expect to be treated and walk
away from the debts they incurred. There are very few people
who can afford to go through cancer treatments, joint replacements, open heart surgeries, serious injuries, etc. and pay for
them without insurance.
Every time someone is treated and cant pay all of us with
insurance end up paying for it. The freedom I want is to be
free from the obligations of those people without insurance
and if it takes a federal mandate to do it then so be it.

Of course we could prevent this from happening by refusing to treat people who cant pay; we could just let them suffer and die in the streets. We all know thats not going to
happen because thats not who we are or at least thats not
who weve been in the past.
Every other developed industrial nation has some type of
national health care and every single one of them covers all
of their citizens and does a better job at less than half the cost
per capita than we do. Some of these national plans are very
similar to the ACA and require each citizen to have private
health insurance.
Ive travelled to Canada and several countries in Europe
and every single person Ive talked to has told me they prefer
their system to ours. In fact most of them cant understand
why we continue with the system we have.
Ill be the first to admit that the ACA is a flawed law and
needs a great many changes but it takes cooperation and
youre not going to get it by doing what Republicans like
Sean Duffy have done and vote to repeal it 57 times knowing
it wasnt going to happen.
I have a friend who is usually quite sensible but every once
in a while he gets off on a tangent like this freedom from insurance issue. I usually just say to him are you watching
Fox News again? That usually brings him around and hell
say youre right but sometimes I just have to blow off some
steam.
So Monique, have you been listening to Fox News again?
I think you need to expand your references for your column;
youd be surprised how much information is out there if you
look; information based on facts not anecdotal stories.
Mike Burke,
Boyd

Thaw and Class II road restrictions will take effect statewide
Friday, March 13, at 12:01 a.m.
Class II roads include about 1,400 miles of state highways

thaw period as frost leaves the ground.
Declaration of Spring Thaw also means suspension of most
divisible load overweight permits. Because of the Spring
Thaw, WisDOT permit numbers beginning with any of the
AC, AG, FF, MI, PB and RF codes will be suspended until
further notice. If the permit number begins with GG, contact
the WisDOT Permit Office at 608-266-7320.
If the permit is for a no-fee Implement of Husbandry or an
Agricultural Commercial Motor Vehicle, contact the governmental jurisdiction that issued the permit.
County highways, town roads, city and village streets may
also be posted or limited to legal load limits or less. Decisions
to place or lift weight restrictions on those roads are up to
local units of government.

Tales of our Beginnings

Cadott Cornell Lake Holcombe areas
In 1900, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Fox and a child were two of Cornells first permanent
settlers. They bought an acre of land and pitched a tent until they could build permanent
living quarters.
Two years later, water power at Brunet Falls was purchased, and the plot for a new
town was recorded.
Also in 1902, a branch line of the Omaha Railroad was built from Chippewa Falls
through Brunet Falls country, and the towns of Jim Falls, Holcombe, Arnold and Hannibal.
The first bridge was built in 1904, and the dam construction was approximately 100
yards below Brunet Falls.
Cornells first depot was built in 1904, and was located at the bottom of the hill on
Main Street, where the bicycle trail is now. At that time, Main Street was just a trail for
travel in a wooded area.
Dr. and Mrs. J.H.A. Foster came to Cornell early enough to rank as village pioneers.
He was a well known physician in Cadott and the surrounding country for 13 years, then
sold his practice and came to Cornell.

Plantarfascitis
By Jenny Nereng, physical therapist,
Cornell Area Care Center
Experiencing pain on the bottom of your foot near the
heel? You may be experiencing plantarfascitis, an inflammation of a thick band of tissue that extends from the heel
to the toes on the bottom of the foot.
This occurs most commonly in runners, but may also
occur in individuals who stand for prolonged periods of
time wearing shoes with inadequate support to the arch of
the foot.
The purpose of the plantarfascia is to support the arch
of the foot and provide shock absorption while walking.
When tension increases on the plantarfascia, small tears
develop and can lead to repetitive tearing and inflammation if not corrected.
Common symptoms include pain in the heel of the foot
that is most prominent with initial steps in the morning, or
after a period of prolonged sitting, and improves with continued walking as the plantarfascia stretches.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, physical
therapy can help improve pain and mobility through manual therapy techniques. Education regarding appropriate
stretches and strengthening exercises to relieve tension on
the plantarfascia can also improve strength of the supporting muscles of the feet.

Cornell City Council

Westaby appointed as alternate building inspector

By Ginna Young
Its almost spring and that means residents can begin construction on that new addition to the house as soon as the
city inspector gets back to town. At the March 5 Cornell City
Council meeting, members discussed the need for an alternate non-Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC) building inspector.
Right now, our non-UDC inspector, Dennis Thompson,
winters in Florida, said Dave DeJongh, city administrator.
It puts us in a bind; we have nobody to sign a permit.
DeJongh said the matter had previously been discussed at
a committee meeting, and city utility/public works supervisor
John Westabys name had come up for the job. After talking
to Westaby prior to the meeting and getting his approval, the
council unanimously voted to appoint him as a non-UDC alternate building inspector.
Westaby will take on the new duties in addition to his regular work load, and will complete inspections during regular
work hours. DeJongh says he doesnt expect Westaby to have
many inspections during the winter months, and says this will
not affect his title as utility/public works supervisor.
During the regular meeting, the council also agreed to en-

gage the services of Bluestem Forestry Consulting to assist

in Cornells tree inventory and management plan. The proposal is outlined at $8,280, and is scheduled to be completed
in July.
They sound like theyd be very interested in allowing
questions, and someone from our staff to learn what theyre
doing and see how this is done, said Mayor Judy Talbot. I
think its kind of nice to have someone whos willing to take
a novice along and show them the ropes.
On other agenda, council members authorized the purchase
of Independence Day fireworks from J & M Displays. The
cost to the city remains the same as last year at $4,000, but
to stay on budget, the display amount has decreased by
roughly 25 shells.
DeJongh says the city is in their final year of a three year
arrangement with J & M, but has been approached from another company, and may look into a proposal for next year.
People are always welcome to donate, so if we did get
extra monies toward that, said DeJongh, wed want to put
the money right back into it, if somebody wanted to see a
larger display.

Vacation protection advice offered from the PIAW

Many families leave Wisconsin, at least temporarily, to escape winters cold and snow. While making travel plans, the
Professional Insurance Agents of Wisconsin (PIAW) say this
is a good time to review insurance policies with a local, professional, independent insurance agent, just in case an auto accident or illness occurs while traveling.
Rental car insurance is still a point of confusion for many
auto owners, says Ron Von Haden, CIC, executive vice president of the PIAW. Most insurance policies do provide collision and comprehensive coverage for rental cars in any state or

country, so you can refuse the extra insurance coverage at the

counter. If you are not sure whether your policy does cover you,
talk to your agent.
Some major credit card companies and other outlets (the
rental car agency) may also provide coverage for your rental
car. However, the PIAW says these options may not provide
full coverage and may have exclusions.
If your GPS, cell phone, portable DVD player or other items
are stolen from your rental car, it may be covered under your
homeowners or renters policy, said Von Haden.
Sickness and injury while on vacation can also happen, and
the PIAW says when traveling within the U.S., most auto, home
and health insurance policies will give protection during travel;
internationally, policies may not provide adequate coverage.
Purchasing a travel insurance policy, through a reputable insurance company, should cover you in the event of an emergency overseas, says Von Haden.
Von Haden says travel insurers also provide 24-hour telephone assistance that can help find a local pharmacy, get a replacement set of glasses, find an English-speaking doctor or
reputable hospital.

Technology gets safer and more relevant
Page

By Monique Westaby
In just four years teaching at Lake Holcombe, technology
instructor Andrew Lorenzen has made numerous changes in
the tech-ed program at the school. With those changes, has
come over $13,000 in private donations, which Lorenzen says
has allowed the department to purchase new equipment.
Its allowed us to go through and decide which pieces are
antiquated or safety concerns, said Lorenzen. That way we
can purchase something that is relevant to the industry today
and is safer for the students to use.
One of the most recent purchases to the tech-ed program is
a 40 watt laser engraving system, which will engrave wood,
steel, aluminum, ceramic and marble, to name a few.
All you have to do is adjust the wattage and the power,
and it will engrave on that material, says Lorenzen. In laymans terms, its an extremely high-tech printer.
Once a job is created, it gets sent to the portable machine
via laptop, just like a computer would send a file to a printer.
Programs can be designed to engrave numbers, pictures or
even plaques, something Lorenzen says could save the school
money on down the line, and keeps different departments
working together.
A goal is for not only me to use this, but anybody in the
school, Lorenzen says. You can do cardboard cutouts with
this to make little scenes. Or you can cut out little gears to
teach kids gear ratios. So if the art teacher wanted to use it or
even the Kindergarten teacher, thats my goal, that this machine gets used around the school.
Mark Porter, principal at Lake Holcombe, said he was surprised when he saw the machine could cut through a piece of
wood, but was still sensitive enough to etch, or burn onto, a
piece of paper.
You can actually engrave a Word document onto a piece
of paper, said Lorenzen. All you really do is create your
document and click printthen you go to your preferences
so if you were printing on paper, youd turn the power down
and the speed up. In the manual, it gives you a list of recommended speed settings for material.
But the drafting classroom isnt the only place with improvements, the metal shop also acquired some new equipment, with two Jet 13 inch swing metal lathes. The new lathes
replaced an old one that had become a safety issue, and
allow students a more up-to-date industry related experience,
especially for those interested in careers in that line of work.
The lathes have enough room for material with a 13 inch
diameter, with a 43 inch bedway. They also have a three inch
throat, and allow for something up to 60 feet to be worked on.
They are very good pieces of machinery and are easy to
get parts for, said Lorenzen. And theyre relatively inexpensive.
A few years ago, the welding shop received $6,000 in donations, which went toward the purchase of two Miller 211
wire feed welders. Lorenzen says the welders have capabilities for aluminum welding, but most of that happens with the
Dynasty 200 welder the shop also purchased.
That is the cadillac machine of the industry today, Lorenzen said. If it contains metal, you can figure out a way to
weld it with that. Anything copper, gold, tin, platinum, alu-

AREA NEWS

minum, stainless steel that machine is what they use in industry today.
The wood shop also saw improvements with the addition
of a 20 inch helical head planer, which replaced an older version that sounded like a jet engine when turned on. Through
a Community Foundation of Chippewa Falls grant in 2011,
Lorenzen purchased the machine.
He also replaced the shops table saw with a Professional
Saw Stop table saw which, if set up correctly, is physically
impossible to cut oneself with.
Theres a microchip and computer board that sends an
electronic signal through the blade, said Lorenzen. If it
comes into contact with anything other than woodit stops
the blade instantly and drops the blade below the table.
Lorenzen said the saw was just under $4,000, and was purchased as part of a donation from a community family. With
that same family donation, the wood shop also purchased a
1.5 hp spindle shaper, which can be used to make cabinet
doors and tongue-and-groove 3/4 inch boards.
Now we have a whole new problem since hes been here,
said Tom Hayden, head of maintenance, with a smile. We
dont have a big enough sawdust collection system. Which is
a good problem to have.
Because the shop has the capability to make more items,
Lorenzen says they have sold cutting boards and other items
to help pay for the consumables, such as wood, gas for
welders and saw blades.
Weve had people donate lumber too, said Hayden.
Quite a few times Ive seen that happen. Thats great.
Other improvements for the tech-ed program include a
scroll saw, wood lathe, drill press, current drafting software
and uniform motors for the auto shop class, as well as removing old equipment and clutter.
Along with a safer, more relevant environment for the students, Lorenzen says they take pride in their work, seeing how
things theyve built are used around the school. File cabinet
carts, exit sign covers and a suggestion box are just a few of
the projects from the tech-ed program, and it doesnt stop
there.
As part of the commons area remodel, Lorenzen said his
classes will also work with Cindy Miller, athletic director, to
update areas of the commons, including restaining, additions
and giving some of it a face lift.
Lorenzen also has plans to get involved with state wide
competitions, such as the Rube Goldberg regional competition
that involves solving a simple problem in a complex way
using chain reactions. A team will travel to Loyal High
School next week to participate in the competition.
We also plan to continue to update the metal lab by installing new lights and an exhaust system, said Lorenzen.
My focus will then turn to the auto shop to develop a curriculum and implement auto classes.
Coming from an old shop teacher, said Ken Ash, former
tech-ed instructor for Lake Holcombe, I think youre doing
a fantastic job. With all your donations, you should be proud.
Lorenzen said he takes great pride in seeing several of his
former students employed in related industry fields, and that
its been a lot of fun so far.

High expectations set for Hornets

A group of Lake Holcombe students wait on the edge of their seats for a basket
at the WIAA Boys Regional opener Tuesday,March 3. The Chieftains hosted
the Thorp Cardinals in a nail biter event, in which the two teams kept the score
within a basket or two until the final buzzer. With six seconds left, the Cardinals
were ahead by six, and although Lake Holcombe made a near half court
swoosh, Thorp moved on in the tournament, defeating the hosting team 4744.

After splitting wins in the regular season,
it was anybodys game March 3, for round
one of WIAA regional playoffs between the
Cadott Hornets Boys Basketball team and
the Osseo-Fairchild Thunder.
The loss was tough to take, said Brandon Mittermeyer, Cadott head coach, especially with the high expectations that the
players, coaches and fans had.
Cadott trailed by only seven points at halftime, and brought the score to six points
going into the final frame, but they began to
lose their momentum in the fourth quarter.
We had some stretches throughout the
game which we didnt perform well in
areas, Mittermeyer said, such as scrapping
for the ball, taking care of possessions and
rebounding.
Mittermeyer said Osseo-Fairchild had really good post players which hurt Cadotts

ability to finish. That was tough for us to

handle.
The Hornets ended their season with a 7259 loss against the Thunder.
Seniors Ezra Michael and Ben Kyes led
the charge for Cadott with 16 points each.
Kaeden Thom, senior, added 15 points and a
steal.
Senior Brett McChesney had six points
with four assists, and sophomore Bryce McChesney and junior Jake Holum had three
points a piece for the Hornets.
Mittermeyer says he has great respect for
the amount of time the seniors put into their
basketball careers, and hopes nothing but
the best for them.
That being said, we have some very
strong groups coming up, he added. We are
very excited for the future. It is up to the upcoming players to work to realize their potential.

Down to the final buzzer

By Kayla Peche
It was the final minutes, even seconds, that decided the victor of the March 3 boys basketball regional opener at Lake Holcombe. The Chieftains, ranked fourth in the playoffs, took
on Thorp, ranked fifth.
We took the lead 41-40 with two minutes on the clock, said Dave Engel, Chieftains head
coach, but were unable to finish.
Going into the final frame,
Lake Holcombe was down
by 10 points, consistent with
the first few quarters when
the Chieftains inched behind
the Cardinals.
We had a couple of dry
spells in the second and
third, said Engel. Our two
seniors (Jay Kent and John
Stender Jr.), and Nick
(Seng), were able to bring us
back.
With 51 seconds left in the
fourth quarter, the score was
tied. Lake Holcombe had
come back with baskets from
their top scorers, including a
3-pointer from Seng.
The Cardinals responded
with a 3-pointer, taking the
lead, 44-41. Fouls and free
throws decided the final seconds, and Thorp gained the
lead by six points.
With six seconds left on
the clock, Seng threw up the
ball near half court for one
last basket. As the buzzer
rang, the net swished, ending
the game, 47-44, and ending
the Chieftains 2014-15 season.
Seng led Lake Holcombe
with 18 points, followed by
Kent with eight. Junior Senior Jay Kent goes for a mid-court shot at his
William Hattamer and soph- final high school career game. Kent added eight
omore Reece Kinney each points for the Lake Holcombe vs. Thorp game. The
had seven. Stender rounded two teams went back and forth in the last quarter,
off the points for the Chief- but the Cardinals came away with the win.

Chiefs focus on the future

By Kayla Peche
Experience and vertical measurement had
an impact on the Cornell Chiefs Boys Basketball team during their March 3 regional
game against the Rib Lake Redmen.
We didnt do a lot very well, said Shawn
Schoelzel, Cornell head coach. They (Rib
Lake) had a lot of height that really affected
our shooting and rebounding.
In the first half, the Chiefs were overcome
with the Redmens ability to score, falling
behind by 24 points. As the final quarters
played out, Cornell stepped up their game
with a 10-point third quarter, but that was not
enough to stop Rib Lake.

We had a lot of mental errors that led to

too many turnovers against the press,
Schoelzel said, which leads to easy baskets.
Sophomore Noah Nohr was the top scorer
for the Chiefs with 15 points, followed by his
classmate, Colton Hetke, with 11 points.
The Redmen dominated the scoreboard,
advancing to round two and ending Cornells
2014-15 season with a 73-29 victory.
This season may be over for the Chiefs,
but Schoelzel says he is proud of his team,
and has confidence for the future.
We were young, Schoelzel said. I cant
wait for next year.

The Cornell archery team took second place at a tournament in Medford March 7. First place honors went to Cashton, while Marshfield finished third.
During the tournament, 16 teams competed in the event,
with only three competing at a high school level. The Cornell
team accomplished second place with only 15 of the usual
27 archers.
With three tournaments under our belt, and two to go before the State Grand Finale, the team continues to show personal growth in both the physical and emotional aspects of
archery, said Cornell archery coach Carol Hakes. A self
discipline, a goal setting drive, and a focus to shoot straight
for life is developing in each of them before our very eyes.
The top three girls scores went to Kenzie Weggen, Jordan
Shackleton and Clair Winrich. On the boys side, high scores
went to Corbin Moss, Ty Anderson and Isaiah Krupka. Jordan
Shackleton, Trenton Glaus, Corbin Moss and Ty Anderson
also took fourth place in their divisions.
The Cornell archers will have their next competition at
Sparta Saturday, March 14.

Cornell sophomore Kenzie Weggen shot her personal best at a Medford tournament March 7, with

Its a Girls Hunting

Life
By: Monique Westaby

This seems familiar

Ouch
My head bounced off the seat in front of me and I woke
up in a groggy daze. A little unsure of my surroundings, I
quickly remembered Iwas in our friends truck, and we
were coyote hunting.
Ugh...what I wouldnt give to be curled up in my bed
I pulled the blanket a little tighter and looked around.
We were sitting on a back road, and my husband was driving the old, mostly white truck.
Wheres Terry? I managed to squeak out of my dry
throat from the cramped backseat of the two-door vehicle.
Oh, he decided to walk in, said Scott.
Why? I asked.
I dont know, he responded.
Annoyed, I turned my head back toward the window
and watched the trees go by. Where are the dogs?
Heading toward the highway.
I looked around at my settings again and realized we
were headed to the highway. I grabbed the GPS in the bag
next to me and looked at the track. Sure enough, they were
bee-lining it right for the road.
When we got there, two other trucks had already made
the trip and were lined along the road with flashers on,
waiting to see what move the dogs would make.
Did they do anything while I was asleep? I asked.
Ya, they treed a coon, said Scott.
Guess I didnt miss out on much. Glad I caught some
sleep. The morning sickness was coming back again and
I grabbed the bag of goldfish and a ginger ale to try and
settle my stomach. I crunched nonchalantly on the snack
while we inched forward to keep in line with the dogs.
To our left, a large swamp with cattail remnants lurked,
and the dogs seemed to be just on the edge of it. Two lone
trees graced the swamp, and the dogs owners were already on the other side of the road, ready to grab the dogs
if they made it to the road.
Cars whizzed by, most barely braking at our presence.
I grabbed another goldfish and watched the swamp. The
grass moved and I could hear barking through the rolled
down window. The owner walked in and tried to catch one
of the dogs, but it circled around just beyond his reach.
Another circle and the dog again neared, but still, no luck.
They were obviously no longer on a coyote track.
Another goldfish went down the hatch and I watched
the owner walk in a little further. Several more steps
andwait a minute. What was that? No way.
It was broad daylight, on a near zero degree day, and
there it was, a big ol ringtail climbing up a scrawny tree.
I grabbed my camera and snapped a few shots. Mr. coon
didnt like his position, so after wiggling around for several moments, he maneuvred into an escape position, and
jumped from the tree into the grass.
By this time, the owner had arrived and caught the dogs,
and we headed on our way to find our driver. Although it
wasnt what we were looking for, it was still a fun experienceeven though I slept through most of it.

DNR Outdoor Report

Walleye seem to be on the move to stage near spawning
areas. Northern pike activity also saw an increase, and panfish action has shown signs of improving, with fair catches
of crappie, perch and bluegill.
Male turkey are starting to strut around hens. The coyote
and fox mating season is winding down, but they are still visible. A few raccoon have been seen poking around looking
for food.
With the snow starting to melt in the coming weeks, keep
eyes open for skunk cabbage and the first of the early spring
ephemerals peeking through the snow.
Statewide Birding Report
Great horned owls and bald eagles are sitting on nests incubating eggs, common ravens are performing courtship
flights, greater prairie chickens are dancing in central Wisconsin, and barred owls are performing duets statewide.
The first northbound golden eagles have been spotted by
the Lake Superior shore, while building numbers of longtailed ducks are observed off the Lake Michigan shore in
Ozaukee County. Observers also note scaup, mergansers and

goldeneyes in numbers, as well as white-winged scoters in

Milwaukee, and red-throated loons unusually close to shore
in Port Washington.
Pine siskins, common redpolls and purple finches remain
common across the north, in addition to small numbers of
pine grosbeaks, evening grosbeaks and Bohemian waxwings.
Sightings of redpolls at feeders have seen an uptick in the
south.
Snowy owls also continue on to their wintering areas in
high numbers.
Birders in the south should be on the lookout for sandhill
cranes, red-winged blackbirds, common grackles, killdeer,
American woodcock, eastern meadowlarks and other early
migrants.
Rarities spotted this past week include a black-billed magpie in Bayfield County, gyrfalcon in Douglas, northern hawkowl in Eau Claire, and varied thrushes at feeders in multiple
locations.

An Outdoorsmans Journal By Mark Walters

Big Goals on Sheboygan Harbor
Hello friends,
This week I had a powerful itch to live on the ice and try
catching a rainbow, or brown trout or possibly a trophy
northern pike. My plan was simple; I would head to Sheboygan, and set up a camp on the ice, right in the harbor,
fish with tip ups, possibly jig as well and hopefully ice a
trophy from Lake Michigan
Wednesday, March 4 High, 11, Low -13
There is always a twist, and this week I had a double
whammy. My plan was to spend Wednesday and Thursday
on the ice, and then on Thursday evening I was going to
speak to the Manitowoc Fish and Game City Unit about
starting a KAMO Chapter. This agreement was made two
months ago and I was not going to be the one to break it.
Here is the other part of the double whammy last night
I hit the rack at midnight with my truck packed for this trip.
Not long after I went to bed, that nasty virus that wreaks
havoc on your lungs and sinuses hit me and I was one sick
puppy. Best description I felt like I was drowning. I had
to do the trip, and I had to speak in Manitowoc.
About all I can say is this: if you have to get it done and
you are not well, use DayQuil/NyQuil.
So I hit the harbor at 1 p.m. I am foreign to fishing
browns and bows through the ice. There is a father and a
son fishing with tip ups, and they are set up near the boat
launch; 50 yards away someone is in a shack jigging. As always I pimp the locals for info. I am told if I put my time
in, I will at least catch a gator and quite possibly a brown
or bow.
As usual, I have 10 million pounds of gear. I pre-planned
and had an Otter Sled loaded with three tip ups, my Jiffy
Pro 4 and a bucket of golden shiners. I drill my first hole,
hook up a minnow and begin lowering it in what is about
11 feet of water.
As the minnow is swimming down, it begins swimming
fast and strong. I realize it is not the minnow, but instead,
has been gobbled up by a very large fish. I set the hook and
what I feel is the biggest
fish I have had on this winter takes off like a 747 and
cuts/breaks my flurocarbon
line.
I do not care if this virus

kills me; I need

to catch a big
fish!
Lines are set
and I begin
hauling 10 million pounds of This five-pound brown trout was
gear to camp- caught on a tip-up on Sheboygan
Harbor.
site.
At this time, I met a really cool dude by the name of Dick
Scheifelbein (guy in the shack). Dick had caught a 12pound brown, a 36-inch gator and three other fish. I get
some great info and begin setting up camp.
Bad luck kind of came my way when a pole breaks on
my Eskimo Fat Fish 13x7-foot cabin on the ice as I am attempting to set it up. The Fat Fish has been used hard and
put to bed wet for three winters; with help of new friends
on the ice, the shack is kind of put up.
A flag goes up on one of my tip ups and I catch what is
probably the fattest 31-inch gator I have ever seen. It gets
darkI love the iceI want spring to wait another
monthI am sickwho caresI have NyQuil.
Thursday, March 5 High 14, Low -13
I slept on the ice once again last night two propane
lights, a Mr. Heater, my body on a cot and inside of two
sleeping bags.
I was up at first light this morning and the flags were flying once the sun was high. I caught another 31-inch gator,
a smaller one, had several fish drop the minnow, which I
was told is a brown trout trait, and I caught a 5-pound
brown, which was my goal. I heard so many stories of true
monsters being caught and missed here that I might return
in a few days.
Tonight, I headed over to Manitowoc and gave that talk
to a full house of outdoorsmen and women. Folks in
that area, many of you read this column; you can have a
KAMO chapter, there is already one just north of you near
Maribel.
Check out kamokids.org
and call or email me.
I could do a commercial
for DayQuil/Nyquil!

Safety Fair and Smart

Choices Keep us Safe
By Monique Westaby
Michele Bowe, speech language pathologist for Cornell
School District, says elementary students have multiple opportunities every day to make safe choices, and reminding them
about good choices is why she planned Safety Week: Smart
Choices Keep us Safe.
It kind of started because we also work on the Red Ribbon
week campaign in October where we work on drug and alcohol
prevention, said Bowe. I asked my daughter how many times
she was offered drugs and alcohol this week and she said none.
So I asked how many opportunities she had to put her seatbelt on, sit in her booster seat or cross the street safely. We just
think they have multiple opportunities every day, every week,
to stay safe; so we want to focus on that.
Bowe is working with fourth grade teacher Elizabeth Sproul
to coordinate Safety Week, which begins next Monday, March
16. Each day will focus on a
separate theme, such as electrical, pedestrian, vehicle and
water safety, as well as brain
injury prevention.
I work on these events because as a speech and language therapist, part of my
job is prevention, said Bowe.
March 18 is Brain Injury
Awareness Day, so that is why
this week was chosen.
The school plans to work
with the Wisconsin State Patrol, Cornell Police Department and Chippewa Valley
Electric for presentations
throughout the week. Bowe
and Sproul have also planned
a Safety Fair for students and
parents Monday, March 16,
from 3-5:30 p.m. at the elementary school.
Families are welcome to attend to hear more about which
child safety seat to use, and
how to properly fit helmets
and life jackets; they can also
register to win any of those
items.
We did get a grant from
Northwestern Bank, said
Bowe. So we do have some
funds to go with it.
Personnel will also be on
hand from the WisDNR, Rusk
County Public Health and
Jackets for Jacob, and the
Cornell Community Closet
will be open the evening of
the Safety Fair.
Its just something new we
want to do, Bowe said.

Cadott Village
Board Minutes
March 2, 2015
The Finance Committee
met at 6 p.m. to audit the
bills.
The regular meeting of
the Cadott Village Board
was called to order by
president Anson Albarado.
Trustees present were:
Randy Kuehni, Terry Licht,
Les Liptak, Jerry Rykal
and Chuck Sedivy. Absent: Bart Chapek. Public
present: Kayla Peche (reporter), Rick Sommerfeld
and Paul Helminski, Rolly
Tichy and Dan Burns. The
next regular board meeting will be March 16,
2015, at 6:30 p.m.
A motion was made by
Kuehni and seconded by
Licht to approve the minutes of the Feb. 16, 2015,
board meeting. MC.
A motion was made by
Rykal and seconded by

Liptak to approve the bills

dated March 2, 2015.
Rykal wanted clarification
on the Foth bill. Albarado
stated that he will address
that when it comes up on
the agenda. Motion by roll
call. MC.
Rick Sommerfeld and
Paul Helminski were present to discuss the fire departments monthly large
meter charge. Sommerfeld stated that they
havent paid for it in the
past, but now they have
to. Helminski asked where
the money goes. It stays
in the water utility. Helminski said then the village
should pay for it. That is
not how the regulations
are. We are governed by
the Public Service Commission. Every residence
and business has a meter
charge. The rate is determined by the size of the
meter. Kuehni stated that

we have to abide by the

rules. Albarado stated that
they can change the size
of the meter so that it isnt
a 4-inch meter. They could
go to a 2-inch and that
monthly charge would be
less. Tichy suggested that
he would call his supplier
and see if they have a
loaner meter and what all
the costs would be if they
would change to a different size meter. The cost to
change out the meter
would fall on the fire deptment.
A motion was made by
Rykal and seconded by
Liptak to approve a school
liaison training to the two
full-time officers. The
school will pick up the registration costs but the village will pay wages,
meals, mileage and lodging. These costs will be
part of their annual certification. MC.

The Foth bill in the

amount of $1,329.25
was discussed. Albarado
stated that he called the
engineer to verify what it
was for. It is costs in regard to the litigation
we are involved in for the
wastewater
treatment
plant. It is part of the liquated damages. A motion was made by Kuehni
and seconded by Sedivy
to approve paying the
bill. Liptak voted no.
MC.
A motion was made by
Liptak and seconded by
Licht to approve the annual landscape renewal
from The Ground Up with
the exception that the
sales tax should not be
included. Also, Kuehni
would like to know what
the $85 is for. The clerk
will find out. MC.
Kuehni reported on the
Planning & Development

meeting held Feb. 23,

2015. The land in the Industrial Park was not discussed because the
proposed buyer was not
able to attend. Our engineer will get going on the
plans for the extension of
Poplar St. and get back to
us.
The village board would
like to thank the recent
election workers who
have retired after many
years of service. They are
LaVern Arneson, Norma
Gerrits and Dorothy Peters.
There will be a recycling
meeting at the courthouse
March 11, 2015. Les Liptak offered to attend the
meeting.
A motion was made by
Sedivy and seconded by
Kuehni to adjourn the
meeting. MC.

The family of Guy Crosby wishes to express our profound gratitude for the outpouring of sympathy at the
passing of our beloved father, grandfather and greatgrandfather. Words cannot adequately describe the joy
we felt in hearing the personal stories from those who
had touched Dads life over the years. It is comforting to
know you all remembered him as a loving, respected
member of the community he chose to make his lifelong
home.
Thank you to John Leiser, Leiser Funeral Home, for
his caring, compassionate care during this difficult time;
the Rev. Bob Hoekstra for his comforting words; Sherry
McMenamin and Pat Lynch for the beautiful music during the ceremony; the American Legion Auxiliary for the
great lunch; and St. Croix Hospice for their care in his
final days.
Special acknowledgements:
To the Cornell Area Fire Department for honoring
Dad with such a splendid escort and final farewell; he
considered you all part of his family.
To the Cornell American Legion/VFW for the grave
side military honor and 21 gun salute. The recognition
and respect was very touching.
To Our House Memory Care in Chippewa Falls, where
Dad resided for the past two years. We are so very grateful for the love and care you shared with Dad on a daily
basis. We took great comfort in knowing he was so well
loved and safe.
While we will miss him greatly, we are at peace knowing he is reunited with the love of his life as meant to be.
Blessings to all,
Deb (Dave) Tonnancour
Pete (Kris) Crosby
Mike (Lynn) Crosby
Diane (Ken) Weirick

The exchange experience

fast, everythings fast; but here it is slower. I feel more comfortable here.
The Walthers live in the country, where Jason said he finds
himself having new experiences. Gilbert explained that his
family hunts or buys their own meat to be butchered, something that Jason was not used to. The family taught Jason how
to make ringed bologna, sausage and other meat products.
It was very interesting, said Jason.
Jasons host mom has also been teaching him how to cook
most of the family meals. Even though the food here is similar to Hong Kong, Jason said he does like American burgers
better.
The food tastes better here, he said. I am learning how
to cook a lot, like cookies and stuff like that.
Snow and football were other things Jason never experienced in Hong Kong, and says hes not a fan of Wisconsins
cold weather, but did enjoy skiing and watching the Packers
on TV.
It is really freezing and cold here, he said. Its horrible.
I mean snow is beautiful stuff. Snow is good, but the weather
is too cold for me.
Jason, one of two foreign exchange students in the district
this year, says his host family, teachers and students in Cadott
have all been very welcoming and friendly.
He says his favorite subject is wood processing, which he
said he couldnt take in Hong Kong, and that the teachers
have been very accommodating with his language barrier, allowing him more time on assignments. But the barrier hasnt
been too much of an issue, as his grades are good and Cathy
says hes doing very well in school.
Our teachers are very good with helping students who
have a hard time dealing, Gilbert said. Since hes from
Hong Kong, and speaks a different language, they help him
through it.
Jason will leave Cadott after the school year is over, around
the first week of June. He said he will not miss the homework
or the cold, but will miss the friends hes made.
But I plan to come back someday, he says.
For more information on Aspect Foundation, or how to become a host family, contact Cathy at cathy.ryba@aspectfoundation.org, call 888-288-3480 or visit aspectfoundation.org.
Editors Note: As of deadline, the second foreign exchange
student has been unable to meet with our reporter.
